Default Advice on Handle Bars

Hey guys need some help or advice. My stock bars make my shoulder hurt and my right hand go numb after awhile. The angel of my wrist I think is part of it.

I would like some advice on a set of bars where I am not reaching as far and bring my wrist to a more normal position.

I now sit back and wait for all of your wonderfull wisdom

I have the same problem w/ the bars as far as the awkward reach and going numb. I am personally thinking of going to the heritage bars as you can use the stock cables and still get a better pullbackand wrist position from what gleaned froma search on the subject.

I went with the Dresser Bars from Cycle Smiths. www.cyclesmiths.com
12" pull back for a better angle on the wrists. You are also able to use stock cables.

Best thing is to go to the dealer and sit on some different bikes and get an idea what works for you, for me a set of Heritage bars worked out well and are very comfortable.

I had the same problem with my roadking so I went with 4 inch risers with 1 inch pullback and buckhorn bars and I love it I can ride all day now without my hands falling asleep.
